  I want to change the name of my blog (without changing the type of content) and I would also like to change the URL, but I don’t want to lose followers. Can I migrate them to the new URL, or will they have to re-follow?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  This has been great – thank you. EXCEPT for the last link. When I go to that page, it asks me to contact wordpress to move my subscribers, but that leads me here… How do I do it?
